On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court, in the Roe vs. Wade decision, made its worst mistake in history. By declaring that children in the womb are not “persons,” it opened the door to tens of millions of abortions. The website of the Alan Guttmacher Institute (formerly the research arm of Planned Parenthood, which is the single largest source of abortions in America), states, “From 1973 through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions occurred.” It also points out that “Twenty-one percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion,” and that abortions at 21 weeks of pregnancy or later number somewhere around 12,720 per year in America. In 2011, there were 1.06 million abortions in our country. Indeed, as we mark another Roe vs. Wade commemoration, it is time for all of us to get involved in the efforts to end abortion.
